Campus prayer tent brings students together

East Texas Baptist University’s Baptist Student Ministry recently hosted a prayer tent event, offering students 24 consecutive hours of prayer, reflection, confession and thanksgiving.

The prayer tent was part of ETBU’s initiative to offer students, staff and faculty a time of focused prayer.

24-hour access

Beginning at 8 a.m. on April 15 and lasting until 8 a.m. on April 16, students had full 24-hour access to the prayer tent, a large white tent outside the Ornelas Student Center housing prayer cards, a thanksgiving journal, crafts and more.
